Why is it impossible to accept a quest reward without a mouse? - Guild Wars Forums

Blind Gardian · Oct 12, 2007, 07:38 AM // 07:38

As title says, that's my question. An example being I was questing with my Rit. on Shing Jea and my wireless mouse goes unresponsive on me. No biggie. I continued playing with just my keyboard, telling myself I'll reset the pc after I grab the reward. But I get to my reward, and I'm able to bring up the window with Accept on it, but I find it impossible to actually accept the reward with just my keys. So I wonder, am I just missing a key, or is it actually not possible to accept a reward without actually using a mouse to click it?

If enter does not work it is impossible i think

Well, enter opens chat, I tried it : / Accepting a reward with my board isn't all that important to me, but I was just curious.

Reading the question what a novel idea "only kidding"

Never considered it but doesn't alt tab switch through windows, maybe that could work.
Will certainly check it out next time a reward is offered, I swapped my trackball from usb back to ps2 because of things like this.
Last thing you want as a gamer is either mouse or kb failing mid game.

if you would read he said it died went bad crapped out shot drowned how ever you want to put it.

I feel your pain my wireless mouse goes dead every 5 days due to the fact that the laser never truly turns off it goes into blink/sleep mode LOL

replace all wireless devices with old fashioned wired ones I mean just how far away from the computer do you want to sit.

Also in my opinion replace mouse with trackball for its many advantages and few disadvantages.

hubby has this problem all the time....he just keeps extra batteries in the charger and does a quick swap to get going again....
I, too, agree about wireless-ness when playing games, but then again hubby likes to sit on the couch and play on the big tv

sorry OP no clue how to accept without the mousey

When we tell our friends with little kids NOT to get wireless mouse, we tell them it's much easier to find the mouse when it has a leash on it, and is attached to something.

What a good question, I wondered about keyboard support on the convo boxes before too. Never had a real need to use my only my keyboard when playing.
